Senior Operator License No. SOP-1585-4 states in part that, "In directing the licensed activi".ies of licensed operators and in manipulating the controls of the above facility...the licensee shall observe the operating procedures and other conditions specified in the facility license which authorizes operation of the-facility..."
Technical Specifications 3.7.C.1 requires that secondary containment integrity be maintained whenever irradiated fuel movement is in progress.
